Trainer-driver combination David and Justin Reynolds are giving Presidential Dude a short turnaround for this Sunday's meeting at Dubbo, looking to see whether their gelding can make it two victories in the space of five days.
Presidential Dude goes out from the inside of the back row for the Northern Rivers Equine Pace (2,160 metres).
Win number three in a row would bring his career tally of victories into the double digits.
What's most impressive about Presidential Dude's back-to-back efforts at Bathurst Paceway is that he won both races at $14 and $13 odds.

David Reynolds believes the Presidential Ball gelding has manage to shake off a couple of injuries and is looking fresh.
"He's been going really good and his work has been good so we were confident he'd go well in both of those races," he said.
"He's had a few niggling injuries and I think we're on top of those at the moment. He's worked well lately and hasn't been sore for a long time since he came back from a spell."
Reynolds said the draw for the upcoming race isn't ideal.
"I'll leave it up to Justin to see what happens and what goes on around him," he said.
"He's fairly versatile though. He can sit up or do a bit of work if it's needed. He's probably going to have to get off the fence at some stage."
Presidential Dude isn't the only runner who's chasing a hat-trick in Sunday's race.
Bernie Hewitt's Crazy Shippo, starting widest on the front row, is also on the hunt for win number three in a row after two Bathurst victories.
Stan Townsend's Bo Yang is the other last start winner in the race.
The eight race card at Dubbo this Sunday gets underway from 2.08pm with a two-year-olds event.
